For reasons I can't fathom, my post about our search for new postdocs at U Chicago was marked as containing "sensitive content". I'm baffled! Explain this to me and earn my gratitude. But really, we are seeking postdocs. awhvogellab.com/

Just a thought: Which should be considered more “marginal” - believing in Santa at age 7 or not believing in climate change at age 72?

Here's a free link to a review article with @Josh_J_Foster on the role of alpha in spatial attention. We argue that evidence for alpha's role in suppression is limited. What do you think? authors.elsevier.com/a/1Y6H5…

We are looking for new postdoctoral scholars! Please get in touch if you are interested in joining a vibrant and collaborative research team focused on behavioral and neural studies of attention and working memory. Details below...
Poor show, @SfNtweets. This falls a long way short of the standards we expect. So let's make this simple. Refund the fees now or lose my membership and fees forever. Never forget that you need us more than we need you. RT if you agree or will do same.
Disappointed 😕that @Neurosci2018 @SfNtweets won’t refund my students membership to use at another conference in a country that won’t deny her entry based on her citizenship.... I asked nicely twice ....

Dissecting the neural focus of attention reveals distinct processes for spatial attention and object-based storage in visual working memory @kcs_adam @eren_gunseli @AwhEdward @threeobjects biorxiv.org/content/early/20…
Great talks this morning by @Josh_J_Foster and @TobiasFeWue about visual attention, the N2pc, and distraction rejection. This is why you stay for the Sunday session at #vss2018!

Great #vss2018 talk by @kcs_adam this morning. Can decode locations of only 2-3 objects being encoded in working memory. Where are the representations of the other items? Gone in a puff of smoke!
